I have mixed feelings about this. It was a bit slow for me (I generally go for something faster paced and with more suspense or mystery so that could be my own issue!). It’s really devastating hearing everything that Kit goes through, at such a young age. The story is told through the eyes of the main character who is a child. She’s an unreliable narrator and some chapters can feel a bit confusing/the story jumps around. Of course this makes sense because a child is telling the story, which I found to be both frustrating and also insightful to see how she experiences the world and the events happening around her. From the description I was expecting to focus more on her time at the school, which didn’t seem to be the case. Check triggers!
